My officemate on campus this year is a lovely geek like me so we have decked out our office with posters and toys galore. It is lovely. So lovely, that I bring you four pictures to share all the Doctor Who, Star Wars, Cabin Pressure, Indiana Jones, Sherlock, etc. wonderfulness. We actually put the posters up pretty quickly, but were working on a ( Read more... )

Yesterday, as I was packing to come back to Virginia, my mom started having pains at work. It got so bad her coworkers called an ambulance and seemed to be afraid she was having a heart attack. All the hospitals in Houston are horribly backed up in general because the big one out on Galveston Island hasn't reopened after Hurricane Ike. They ran ( Read more... )

I'm seriously going to scream. I set up a community as a paid community. I think i set it up for auto payments. I want to turn those off and switch it to a basic account. I cannot seem to change anything for the community. I switch to working as the comm but as soon as I go to the account page, it only changes things for my personal journal. ( Read more... )

I remembered this week, though! Good thing I did, too, because this is the last Friday of the school year. Next week, Friday is a teacher workday ( Read more... )

When one of my obsessions is moved to the forefront, I want to be reading / watching / writing / whatever it 24-7. I can't help it. I am an obsessive fangirl and I have accepted my lot in life. Thanks to Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, my Indiana Jones obsession has kicked into overdrive. The problem is that I don't have that much Indy stuff. I ( Read more... )

Someone over at Goodreads has posted a review of the Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull novelization. I'm very confused by this review. It begins by lambasting the book for being spoilery and a summary of the movie script rather than a making of book discussing Spielberg and Lucas and how much Lucas sucks without Spielberg. So ( Read more... )

I saw Kingdom of the Crystal Skull this morning and I really liked it. I think it is a worthy addition to the Indy saga. Some of my friends seemed less enthused by the nature of the mystical artifact in this one, but I really didn't mind that. They did the one thing I knew they were going to do and really hoped they wouldn't so that obviously ( Read more... )

For those of you not fluent in reading da-da-das, that is the Indiana Jones theme song. I'm "playing" it to announce that I officially have a new layout. Hooray Indiana Jones! It'll only be up for the next month or so in honor of the new movie, so you only have about that long to accomplish any swooning over Harrison Ford that you may wish to do ( Read more... )
